Phoenix, AZ--
As it turns out, the first arbitration case for Mario Deortez (8/9/9/6/7 Talents) was also his last.
In a signing announced today, the Talons took the young DH's $3.7M arbitration award for 2036 and promptly handed him an additional three year extension for $18 million, brining the total pact to $21.7 million over the next four seasons for one of the most feared right handed hitters in the Brewster. The Texas sized, 24 year old slugger led the club in home runs and RBI last season.
"I'm just glad to get this all over with, you know what I mean?" commented Deortez, referring to the arbitration process. "I realize what I said earlier about all of this stuff, but now that I've seen how it works, I'd just as rather skip the whole adversarial process and focus on stability," he said.
"Signing our talented cleanup hitter was a huge priority for us," said Talons Assistant GM Stu Coates. "With this deal, we buy out his last two years of arbitration, as well as his first free agent season. I can't tell you how excited we are. What is that, like 160 home runs and 400 RBI over the next four years? Sounds good to me!" Coates said.
"I guess that Community Service Day really paid off!"
